BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND TO CLOSE YANKEE STADIUM?

A New York Newspaper is reporting that

George Steinbrenner wants to close down Yankee Stadium in rocking form - no doubt "inspired" by Billy Joel's recent concerts at Shea Stadium. Supposedly, he wants Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band to play a concert (or concerts) there. It would make a lot of sense: in 2003, Bruce wanted to end his Rising tour at Yankee Stadium, but George wouldn't let him, so he did Shea instead. Now he'd finally get to play Yankee Stadium. Plus, there is definitely a lot of demand in the New York area for Bruce to do more shows - three shows at Giants Stadium wasn't enough. And this would be a great way to close down the Magic tour, which actually wrapped last night in Kansas City. They have another show in a week at the annual Harley Davidson festival in Wisconsin, but that doesn't seem like the way Bruce wraps up his tours.

But I still think that Bruce will tour in some form, solo or with E Street, in October and November around election time.
